'Arrow' Gets Poster And First Episode Synopsis For Season 3

Arrow is returning to CW for its third season and the network keeps building hype around the show's return. Almost two weeks before the first episode of the upcoming season airs, the synopsis for it was revealed, along with a new poster for the series. The newly-revealed poster finds our favorite vigilante in his green suit and promises he is back for good and ready for some action.

The third season of Arrow will pick from where we were left during last one's finale. Slade might be gone, but there's always something going on in Starling city, isn't there? Oliver still has no hold of Queen Consolidated, his sister went away with her father, Malcolm Merlyn, Laurel found out everything, her father was severely hurt, Roy joined the team and Olicity had their first moment.

Wondering where all these could lead now? Check out the official synopsis for the series' returning episode, "The Calm":

"OLIVER SEARCHES FOR AN IDENTITY BEYOND THE ARROW — With crime in Starling City at an all-time low thanks to the Arrow (Stephen Amell) and his team, Oliver thinks he can finally balance being both the Arrow and Oliver Queen and asks Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) out on a date. However, when a new villain (guest star Peter Stormare) emerges, who has claimed the name Vertigo from the recently deceased Count, Oliver is caught off-guard and someone close to him is hurt. Oliver and a newly suited up Roy (Colton Haynes) take on the Count. Meanwhile, Diggle (David Ramsey) becomes a father, Lance (Paul Blackthorne) is promoted to Captain, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) joins Arrow’s inner circle and Felicity gets a part-time job at a tech store to make ends meet. Also, Oliver fights to regain his company, Queen Consolidated, but comes up against a very worthy opponent — the charming Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh). Glen Winter directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Marc Guggenheim & Jake Coburn (#301)."

Arrow is coming back to the CW when "The Calm" premieres, on October 8.
